Hi,

The book says that there is no test suite for "Boost". Actually, there
is one:
http://beta.boost.org/development/running_regression_tests.html

Basically, it consists in running (after ./bootstrap.sh and ./b2 stage):
----------
$ cd status
$ ../b2
----------
I have not yet studied whether there should be more options to ../b2.
Also, I have already an installed version of boost, so I am not sure
that the tests only use stuff in the build directory.

Anyway, the question is: is there a particular reason why those
instructions are not in the book? Right now, I am running those tests
on LFS-7.7-rc1, and everything seems fine so far (started half an hour
ago or so). Maybe the reason for not including the tests is that they
take forever. I'll let you know.

Regards
Pierre
